Weird Problem...Worked (sort of) in Kubuntu no ...Dual-head, multi-head

Ok, I'm going to throw some logs and settings and stuff up here...can someone please explain to me why my xorg.conf keeps probing my pci bus and coming up with my vid card on the wrong ID...  I can't use my dual head because of this...and Like I said in the topic...it worked in Kubuntu but the xrandr extensions are incompatible with xinerama so it freaked out...it worked but everytime I started up it told me that xrandr couldn't work for some bizarre reason (I later learned xrandr andxinerama are incompatible...) So, I switched to ubuntu and I turned off xrandr but now it xorg doesn't understand that I moved my video card (moved it after I found out that it kept probing the wrong address, thought the card might be loose or bad pci slot or whatever)...lspci shows this:

Which puts my ATI vid card at 02:08.0

In my xorg.conf I specified the BusId as quotCI:2:08:0quot;
But...Xorg.20.log (the most recent xorg log) show's this ---

(--) PCI: (2:10:0) ATI Technologies Inc Rage 128 RE/SG rev 0, Mem @ 0x44000000/26, 0x40000000/14, I/O @ 0x1000/8

If I'm reading it right it says probed PCI and found this device here...
If it's not really probing and finding it then where is it looking for this information?

Blah...

But any help would be greatly appreciated...
